Donald Young School staff, students, and parents were surveyed back in April and asked to provide feedback on the “balanced day” format which was used there for the 2002-03 school year.
Based on the results, parents (80 percent), students (85 percent), and staff (100 percent) decided to continue to run the “balanced day” at DYS for the 2003-04 school year.
In other news, congratulations are extended to Kerrilyn Esselink, who represented DYS at the district speech contest in Fort Frances which attracted 15 students from Grades 6-8 from both the local public and Catholic school boards.
